While it wasn't as flashy as the others, long range communication, and the ability to mess with someone's head are not to be underestimated. It was fairly useless on its own, but a powerful force multiplier on the others.
You have a point, but he mostly sat in the back and didn't do much in my memory.
I also always wondered where Captain Planet went when he left. Like was there some Captain Planet bachelor pad where he hot tubs and reads the paper?
I think he just didn’t exist when he “left”. Their rings don’t summon him from another place, they form him. When the mission is over, he ceases to be. There was an episode where the fire guy goes back in time and prevents himself from getting his ring and creates an alternate timeline where Captain Planet never existed at all, because the other planeteers can’t “cast” him without fire.
Similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis?
Where does a flame go when it is extinguished?
There was an episode that showed an alternate timeline where Wheeler refused the fire ring, so the planeteers were never able to summon Captain Planet and couldn't defeat the villains, so they ultimately went their separate ways but kept the rings.
Ma-ti is shown using the heart ring to essentially mug people, altering their minds to force them to give him money.
It's always Wheeler's fault, isn't it?
There was an episode on a few years ago, and I tuned in. Wheeler got trapped behind an ice wall.
He's the fire guy.
An ice wall stopped him.
Yes. The Heart Ring is the most devastating of the rings of Environmental Power.
By controlling the hearts of its victims it’s able to induce the most horrific feeling known to man: meaninglessness.
While all of his opponents seemed to wither only slightly in battle, over 90% of them eventually committed suicide, as they saw the world move on without them, and found only so much solace in drugs and cheap sex.
